4 Preparing Installation and Connection of the Instrument
4.1 Essential Knowledge and Skills
Installation and Connection of the motoscope classic requires basic knowledge in vehicle electrics.
Since the motoscope classic can be installed on many different vehicle platforms with different
specifications and accessories, not every particular case is covered in this manual. If in doubt,
please refer to the information offered on our web site. Another possibility would be to have the
motoscope classic installed in an authorized service center.
4.2 Required Materials and Tools
The motoscope classic is universally applicable and thus suited for many different vehicle
platforms. Thus, depending on the vehicle and mounting options chosen, some customisation and
additional hardware may be required, e. g.:
Instrument holder and mounting screws
Brackets for the speedometer sensor and the menu push-button
Input cables for power, ignition signal, and push-button
Mounting hardware such as cable ties, connectors, heat shrink tubing, soldering iron
We recommend use of wiring diagrams for electrical connection.
If you don’t use the motogadget all-purpose bracket you will need a stable mounting bracket for the
instrument. The speedometer sensor is already equipped with a connecting cable (length
1.5 meters) so that the sensor can be connected to the front or rear wheel. For positioning of the
speedometer sensor you might depending on the position also require a self-made holding
bracket.
5 Quick Start
This section covers installation and connection – briefly but clearly:
a) Prepare all required materials and hardware like brackets (resp. the sheet metal for
constructing them), screws, thread seal, cable/wire, connectors etc.
b) Put all tools required for the mechanical and electrical mounting of your device at the ready:
screw drivers, wrenches, soldering iron, brazing solder, multimeter etc.
c) Keep documents like the wiring diagrams for your vehicle and the motoscope classic etc. at
hand.
d) Ensure a safe and secure position of your vehicle and disconnect the ground cable from
the battery.
e) Choose adequate locations for the instrument and the speedometer sensor. Decide where
the connecting cables of instrument, indicator lights, sensors and push-buttons will join.
Allow for sufficient space for the connectors. Customise the included brackets or
manufacture your own. Mount the brackets.
f) Install the instrument, the speedometer sensor, the push-button, and the optional sensors.
g) Lead all cables (power supply, push-button, sensors, rpm input, speedometer sensor and
indicator lights) to this terminal as well and connect them to the connectors following the
wiring diagram (see appendix).
h) Reconnect the battery to the on-board system and activate the ignition.
i) Adjust the apropriate parameters for rpm meter, scale, speedometer, sensors, etc. in setup
(see respective chapter).
j) Start the engine and check the rpm meter. Carefully and slowly drive several meters and
watch the speedometer. If nothing suspicious and no mechanical or electrical problems or
peculiarities occur, you can continue your test drive.

6 Safety Instructions for Installation and Connection
Ensure your vehicle is standing firmly on the ground before beginning installation works.
Disconnect the connector cable from battery minus to the on-board electrical system.
In your own interest and in the safety interest of third persons, ensure a good and solid mount
for all mounting parts.
Make sure that your vehicle is equipped with a interference suppressing ignition system.
Absence of an interference suppression may result in damage to or malfunction of the
instrument!
7 Installation of the Instrument
Mount your device to vehicle parts that are as little as possible exposed to vibrations. Dimension
your bracket suitably sturdy. For exemplary installations please refer to our website.
A plane and tension free mounting with all 3 of the provided M4 screws is absolutely essential. For
a secure installation and to avoid ruptures to the mounting bores, the mounting screws have to be
screwed into the casing for at least 4 mm.
The maximum screw-in depth shall not be exceeded. Choose your screw length according to the
bracket. We recommend using additional washers and thread locker (medium strength). It is also
critical to adhere to the maximum torque of 2 Nm.
8 Connecting the Instrument
8.1 Notes to Cable Placement
Before placing your cables you will want to find a suitable route for them. It should stay away from
hot motor parts. Find a suitable spot for connecting cables and plugs. In most cases, similar
connecting points in the wiring harness already exist in the headlight, under the tank or in the
cockpit. Please ensure sufficient length remaining before shortening them. Keep in mind that
additional cable length will be needed to account for steering and suspension of your vehicle. All
connector cables have to be routed without kinks, tension and properly insulated. Deploy additional
insulation protection in areas of high mechanical wear. We recommend plastic cable ties for routing
and fastening your cables.

8.2 Notes to the Connector
Route the necessary cables to the connector interface of the instrument. Decide in advance, if
possibly multiple wires have to be unified before being connected to a contact pin. Therefor we
recommend to create the crimp connections at the end of your installation work.
With a crimping tool, crimp the contact pin to the wire(s). Now insert the pin from the backside into
the appropriate connector opening (refer to the connection diagram). Mind the correct positioning
of the latching hooks of the pin. It has to latch onto the connector body.
8.3 Battery and Power Supply
The instrument needs a "switched plus" power supply. This refers to the +12V potential only being
present when the ignition switch is activated. Before beginning installation work, the ground cable
has to be disconnected from the battery. The motoscope classic works on on-board power supplies
with 9-18VDC. Operating the device on a on-board power supply without a battery connected is not
intended by design and is not recommended. Please mind the correct polarisation of the power
supply.
CAUTION!
THE MINIMUM DIAMETER OF THE CONNECTOR CABLE IS 0.5 MM². THE DEVICE
HAS TO BE PROTECTED BY A 1A FUSE. OPERATING THE DEVICE WITHOUT FUSE MAY LEAD
TO DAMAGE OF THE CONNECTOR CABLE OR THE INSTRUMENT OR CREATE SHORTS AND
CABLE FIRES. CAUTION: MORTAL DANGER! MAKE PROPER AND SOUND ELECTRICAL
CONNECTIONS! IF YOU ARE LACKING SUFFICIENT KNOW-HOW, LET AN AUTHORIZED SERVICE
CENTER MAKE THESE CONNECTIONS FOR YOU.
9 Installation and Connection of Sensors and Menu Push-Buttons
9.1 The Menu Push-Button
You need a menu push-button to use the instrument. The button is not included.
Via the menu push-button, the display can be toggled while driving. All settings of the instrument
are selected with this push-button (see respective chapter). One terminal of the push-button si
connected to the green cable of the instrument, the other one to the vehicle ground. Polarity of the
push-button is irrelevant.
9.2 RPM Counter Sensor Cable
The instrument can be connected to all conventional ignition systems that work with ignition coils.
Connect the yellow cable to the terminal 1 (switched ground from the ignition box) of one of the
ignition coils.
In case of a CDI ignition (Capacitor Discharge Ignition - used in squads, scooters, trail bikes) you
must use the motogadget ignition signal pickup unit (article no. 9000001).
We assume that your vehicle is equipped with an interference suppressing ignition system .
For accurate functioning of the instrument preferences in the setup menu of the instrument have to
be changed. Please see directions in the relevant chapter.
Caution! The rev counter connection should never be connected to the high voltage output
of the ignition.

9.3 Installation and Connection of the Speedometer Sensor
9.3.1 Use of OEM Speedometer Sensor
If a speedometer sensor with three connector cables (and able to output a ground signal) is
present in the vehicle, it may be used. Two wire hall sensors are not compatible to the motoscope .
Connect the orange cable of the motoscope directly to the speed sensor signal cable. You will
have to use the (included) motogadget speedometer sensor if no speedometer signal can be
detected.
9.3.2 Use of the motogadget Speedometer Sensor
The included speedometer sensor is a dry reed contact, which is triggered by a magnetic field. To
sense the signals, the included magnet has to be attached to one of the wheels with two-
component epoxy glue. The distance between the magnet and the wheel centre is irrelevant. The
speedometer sensor has to be attached to the vehicle by using a self-made holding bracket. The
sensor tip has to be fastened parallel to the magnet. The distance between magnet and sensor
should not exceed 4 mm and the sensor should not touch the magnet or any other moving parts.
The sensor holding bracket has to be sufficiently stable in order to prevent shifting of the sensor
while driving. The maximum mounting torque of the sensor nuts is 1.6 Nm. We recommend Loctite
(medium strength) for secure mounting. Connect one cable of the speedometer sensor to vehicle
ground and the other one to the orange cable of the motoscope.
CAUTION!
IF THE MAGNET IS EXPOSED TO TEMPERATURES ABOVE 100 °C (E. G. HOT
BRAKING SYSTEM), IT MIGHT BECOME DE-MAGNITISED. THE MAGNET WILL BECOME
UNUSABLE.
9.4 Output for External Gear Shift Flash
The output for the external gear shift flash can be connected to a gear shift indicator flasher. The
maximum switchable continuous power is 1A. The output switches to ground. Please ensure the
right polarity when connecting LED lamps.
9.5 Connecting Optional Temperature and Pressure Sensors
We can only vouch for sensors and transmitters from our own optional accessories to be
compatible to our instrument and to provide exact measurements. When using third-party sensors,
we can not guarantee sound operation of the device and will reject any warranty or liability.
Please check, if the type of sensor, its bore size, thread length, type and pitch match your vehicle
before mounting screw-in type sensors (resp. their threaded adapter). Ensure clean sealing faces,
right torque and good connectivity of the terminals.
All our sensors, as a general rule, get their minus from the vehicle ground. Thus, per temperature
or pressure sensor only one signal wire from the sensor to the connecting plug of the instrument is
necessary.
9.6 Connecting Indicator and Warning Lights
Since all four indicator lights are LED, ensuring the right polarity is critical.
9.6.1 Green Indicator Light for Turn Indicator Left and Right
The indicator light for the turn indicator has two terminals on the connector plug. They are pre-
made for left or right side connections (+12V). If a turn indicator indicator light is present, just
connect its leads. If no indicator light is present, please adhere to the connection diagram in the
appendix.
10
9.6.2 Blue Indicator Light for High Beam
High beam indicator light (+12V). Generally, the layout of the OEM indicator light should be the
same. If your vehicle differs, use the direct input line (plus) from your high beam switch or light.
9.6.3 Green Indicator Light for Neutral
The neutral indicator light is pre-made for connection to ground.
Generally, the layout of the OEM indicator light should be the same. If your vehicle differs, use the
direct input line from the neutral switch that is switching to ground.
9.6.4 Red Indicator and Warning Light
The red warning light can be triggered internally or externally.
It warns by flashing quickly when limits for the values of rpm, temperatures or pressures are either
exceeded or underrun. These functions are controlled internally.
Additional sensors (e. g. oil pressure sensor) can be connected to the terminals with white/yellow
and white/green wire. It is critical that these transmitters are of the "switching" type (on/off) and that
the polarity of all connected transmitters is set correctly.
Connection of a oil pressure switch: white/yellow = switched 12V AND white/green = oil
pressure switch
10 First Use of the Instrument
When all parts are securely mounted and connected properly, you can assemble the connector
halves and connect the battery.
Activate the on-board power suply. The display should light up and show the startup display
(motogadget logo). If this is not the case, please deactivate the ignition and systematically recheck
all connections of the instrument and the sensor connector cables.
Start the motor and watch the rpm meter display. The value displayed should change according to
the actual motor rpm. To get the display to show the proper rpm value, the corresponding settings
have to be made in the setup.
If everything worked as planned up to this point, you can continue with adjusting the settings in the
setup.
11 Operation and Display of Features
11.1 General Notes on Operation with the Menu Push-Button
The device is operated via the menu push-button. To toggle between the different display and
setup levels, the switching time of the push-button is varied.
The device discriminates between 3 switching times which are visually referred to by the three lines
in the first line of the display.
Level 1: < 1s (one line is displayed top-left on the display)
Function: Select the next option or increment a digit
Level 2: 1–3 s (two lines are displayed top-left on the display)
Function: Selection of the next/subordinated level or the next digit. Deleting saved
values.
Level 3: > 3 s (three lines are displayed on the display)
Function: Selection of the previous/superordinate level or exiting the menu point.
For the exact order of the setup please refer to the flow chart in the appendix.
11
11.2 The analog Display with pointer
Depending on the model, the device shows rpm or ground speed. The models with the ground
speed scale have to have the value of Damp at 9 in the MOTOR setup parameter. The value of
SCL has to be 10K.
Models with rpm meter have to have their scale set to 0–8.000 rpm, 0–10.000 rpm, or 0-14.000
rpm resp., this has to be preset at the SCL value in the setup. Additionally, the vehicle-specific
parameter InpE has to be set.
If your analogue indicator is oscillating strongly, another rpm input filter InpF and or a different
indicator dampening factor DAMP should be chosen in the setup.
At start-up, the indicator moves to the stop pin. This calibrates the needle. Turning off the on-board
power supply while the engine is running (key switch), the indicator freezes at the rpm value last
displayed. This is perfectly normal for an instrument driven by a stepping motor and not a
malfunction. If this is an optical nuisance to you, you could turn off the engine with the kill switch
and interrupt the on-board power supply only afterwards.
11.2.1 RPM Limit Display by the Red Warning LED
The red LED (right side triangular symbol) blinks when a rpm value preset in the setup is reached
(refer to FLASH). The preset rpm value also controls the external gear shift flash output. The
flashing can be set to continuous light (refer to FIM).
11.3 Read-out on the LC-Display
11.3.1 Selecting Readouts on the LC-Display
The LC-Display has two lines. The display value of the first line can not be altered.
Push-button level 1 toggles between sensor values on the second line. Available display values are
determined by the preset chosen in the (SCREEN) setup.
11.3.2 The Ground Speed Display (km/h or mph)
Models with rpm scale permanently show the actual ground speed in the top line of the LCD. The
measuring range ranges from 0-350 km/h. Ground speed can also be displayed im miles (mph).
These settings can be changed in the setup (refer to SEL).
Models with ground speed scale show the current speed on the dial. Above a speed of 190 km/h
the speed value is shown on the first line of the of the LC display (instead of the day trip value). If
ground speed drops below 180 km/h or mph, the display switches back to the day trip meter.
11.3.3 The Day Trip Meter (km oder mi)
After start-up, the rpm scale model shows the day trip value in the second line. This value displays
the day trip total in the range from 0 to 999.99 km or mi (delete by push-button level 2).
11.3.3 The Total Distance Meter (km oder mi)
The total distance meter displays the total distance covered since first use of the instrument. This
value is kept even if the on-board power supply is switched off. It can be reset to 0 via the special
subitem "RESET/ALL" in the setup. The start-up value can also be preset in setup (ODO2set).
11.3.5 The Trip Time Meter (hh:mm:ss)
The trip time meter determines the actual driving time, since counting stops when the vehicle
comes to a stop. Road time is established to the second up to a time span of max. 99 hours and
59 minutes (delete by push-button level 2).
11.3.6 On-Board Voltage
This value represents the actual on-board voltage in the 9-18V range.
12
11.3.7 Temperature Gauge T1, Optional Air (AIR) or Water Temperature (H2O)
This value represents the actual air or water temperature as soon as it reaches the measuring
range of the sensors. Out of range is indicated by "---" .
In setup, upper and lower limits (minT, maxT) can be set. These values have to be inside the
measuring range.
Once values are set, blinking of the red warning LED and a message indicate the underrun of the
lower limit. The alarm starts at the lower measuring range. The equivalent goes for exceeding the
upper limit.
If the alarm is confirmed by a button, blinking and message disappear. When the measuring value
T1 is selected and displayed on the display, message and blinking persist as long as any preset
limits have been exceeded or under-run resp..
Temperature values can be displayed on the °C or °F scale (refer to setup).
11.3.8 Temperature Display T2, Oil Temperature (oil)
This value shows the current oil temperature as soon as it is inside the measuring range of the
sensor. The definition of limits is equivalent to the one described for T1.
11.3.9 Oil Pressure Indicator (bar or psi)
This value shows the current oil pressure as soon as it is inside the measuring range of the sensor.
For minimum and maximum limits (minP, maxP) please refer to T1 above. Pressure values can be
displayed on the bar or psi scale (refer to setup).
11.3.10 Actual Acceleration (m/s
2
)
This value represents the current acceleration from -20.0 m/s
2
to +20.0 m/s
2
. Negative values are
generated while breaking. All reached limits are recorded (see below).
11.3.11 RPM Display on the LCD (RPM)
This value shows the current engine RPM as numeric value in the range of 0-20.000 rpm. For this,
some vehicle specific presets have to be made in setup (see analog rpm display).
11.3.12 Average Speed (km/h or mph)
This value shows the average ground speed from all trips since the last reset to 0. The display
range is 0-350 km/h (or mph).
11.3.13 Timekeeping from 0-100 km/h (in s)
This value represents the time in seconds needed to accelerate from 0-100 km/h.
The measurement is taken by a level 2 push-button action. The vehicle has to stand still while
activating the push-button. A small square is displayed in front of the value. Now you can
accelerate, the measurement is started and stopped automatically when reaching 100 km/h.
11.3.14 Maximum Speed Reached (km/h or mph)
Under this value, the maximum speed reached is recorded (delete by push-button level 2).
11.3.15 Maximum RPM Reached (RPM)
Under this value, the maximum speed reached is recorded (delete by push-button level 2).
11.03.16 Maximum Positive Acceleration Reached (m/s
2
)
Under this value, the maximum positive acceleration is recorded (delete by push-button level 2).
13
11.03.17 Maximum Negative Acceleration Reached (m/s
2
)
Under this value, the maximum negative acceleration is recorded (delete by push-button level 2).
11.3.18 Gear Indicator
The gear indicator displays the current gear as numeral from 1 to 6 on the display, on the left hand
side next to the ground speed. Condition for displaying this value is the implementation of the
learning function (see setup‚ menu PARAM, subitem GearTCH). The gear shift indicator is a
mathematical function and is calculated from rpm and ground speed values. No additional sensors
or connectors are required.
12 The Setup
Operation and setup of the motoscope classic is conducted via one push-button. For this reason,
the setup is organised in "levels". Push-button activation for different durations is used for toggling
and selecting these levels. The activation time of the push-button is indicated by 1, 2 or 3
horizontal lines on the display.
The setup is accessed by a level 3 push-button action.
The topmost line displays the selected setup menu (SCREEN, LCD, MOTOR, PARAM, SENSOR,
RESET) while the lower line shows the selected option.
The next menu or the next option is selected with a level 1 push-button action.
Switching from menu (upper line) to option (lower line) is achieved by a level 2 push-button action
and is indicated by a small rectangle.
Exiting the active option or the setup is always achieved by a level 2 push-button action. Please
refer to the overview in the appendix for a guide to toggling and selecting levels and subitems.
12.1 The Subitem SCREEN (Display Setup)
Definition of display values. A level 2 push-button action switches to the lower line (option). You
can chose any display value by a level 2 push-button action. A level 2 push-button action selects
the value. An arrow is displayed. Now the displayed value can be toggled "on" or "off" by a level 1
push-button action. The factory default for all displayed values is "on". The following features can
be activated or deactivated:
ODO1 (day trip meter)
ODO2 (total trip meter)
TIME (trip time)
VOLT (on-board voltage)
TMP1 (temperature 1)
TMP2 (temperature 2)
PRES (pressure)
ACCE (acceleration)
RPM (engine rpm)
AVG (average speed)
0100 (timekeeping 0-100 km/h)
MAXS (maximum speed)
MAXR (maximum engine rpm)
MAXA (maximum positive acceleration)
MINA (maximum negative acceleration)
A level 3 push-button action exits the option and the menu.
12.2 The Subitem LCD (Display Setup)

push-button action, exit by level 3 push-button action.
12.4 The Subitem PARAM (Parameter: Vehicle Specific Settings)
This subitem allows to enter vehicle specific values and to display the software version.
WHLSIZE
This option allows entering the wheel diameter im millimeters. A level 1 push-button action
increments the active digit, level 2 switches to the next digit and level 3 exits the menu to the
PARAM main menu.
Please refer to the table in the appendix for the right outer tire diameter (alternative download at
www.motogadget.de). The ABE is only valid with a correct value from this table.
If your tires can not be found in the table, please measure the outer diameter of the tire (of the
wheel the speedometer sensor is attached to) with a piece of cord. Add 5% speedometer lead by
multiplying the measured value by 1.05.
When using the TTEACH feature, nothing has to be set in this menu.
ImpWHL
Setting the amount of speedometer sensor impulses per wheel rotation from 1 to 99. A level 1
push-button action increments the active digit, level 2 switches to the next digit and level 3 exits the
menu to the PARAM main menu.
When using a megnet, no changes are required (factory preset is 1). When using more than one
magnet, set the number of used magnets. When using the original speedometer sensor, set the
number of output signals per wheel rotation.
When teaching the speedometer sensor via the TTEACH function, the ImpWHL parameter must
not be altered.
The instrument calculates the ground speed and many other values from the values WHLSIZE und
IMPWHL. Please use the utmost caution. Please check the plausibility of the displayed
speedometer values and only afterwards drive on public roads. If false data has been entered, the
instrument will supply false display values and the process of entering data has to be repeated.
Another possibility to set the ground speed calculation factors is the TTeach ("tachometer teach")
feature in the sensor subitem.

ImpENG
This feature determines the number of ignition impulses per crankshift revolution. A level 1 push-
button action toggles the next value, level 3 exits the menu and switches back to the PARAM main
menu.
If your vehicle is equipped with multiple ignition coils, only the impulses from the coil with the signal
cable attached (i. e. the one actually measured) are counted.
Examples:
Single cylinder, 4-stroke, one ignition coil ImpE = 0,5 (SR 500, XT 500)
Single cylinder, 4-stroke, two ignition coils ImpE = 1 (GSXR 1000)
Two cylinders, 4-stroke, one ignition coil ImpE = 1 (Harley Davidson, dual fire)
Two cylinders, 4-stroke, two ignition coils ImpE = 0,5 (Harley Davidson, single fire)
How can I determine the proper setting for my vehicle?
99% of all motorcycles use either 0.5 or 1.
Please choose setting 1. Exit the setup menu and start the engine. If only half the idle rpm value is
displayed, enter the value 0.5.
SEL
Setting option for the distance or ground speed unit resp. Can be set to km or mi by a level 1 push-
button action. Exit the option by a level 3 push-button action.
InpF
Setting the input filter for rpm measurement. A level 1 push-button action toggles between values
A, B, C and D. A level 3 push-button action exits the menu and switches back to the PARAM main
menu. If the rpm meter does not work satisfying with filter B activated, please try another filter
setting.
GearTch
This option is selected by a level 2 push-button action (-> READY is displayed).
Activate by a level 1 push-button action (G1 <-<- is displayed).
Start measuring the displayed gear by a level 1 push-button action or select another gear to be
learned by a level 2 push-button action.
Important:
The selected gear has to be engaged in advance of the measurement and must not be shifted
while measuring. The clutch must not be engaged as well.
While driving, alternate rpm and load (more throttle, less throttle) and amploy the front brake
(without clutch) lightly until reaching the lowest querter of the rpm band. This measures the
tolerances (reaction to load change, slip) within the gear transmission ratios.
If back wheel spin or front wheel blocking occurs, the measurement will be biased must be
repeated for the respective gear. Exit the option with a level 3 push-button action and restart the
teaching process for this gear. Brake and accelerate repeatedly during the countdown and drive
normally during its last seconds. Then, shift gears to the next higher gear and afterwards press
the menu push-button to activate the countdown. Repeat this procedure until all gears have been
processed. If your vehicle has less than 6 gears, finish the measurement when the next gear is
displayed with a level 3 push-button action. The teaching procedures for the respective gears may
also be conducted seperately. To do this, navigate from gear to gear and always keep two lines on
the display. You can start the countdown for each gear when the driving situation allows for a
sound processing of the gear. After finishing the teaching process and exiting the setup with a level
3 push-button action, the instrument has to be power cycled. Only then will the right gear number
be displayed.
16
Test the display for accuracy. In threshold ranges, the instrument might temporarily display the
wrong gear. If the result is overall inconsistent, the teaching process has to be repeated. Please do
not teach the gears to your device on public roads but on a suitable, blocked area. The measuring
is made at your own risk.
FLASH
Setting the threshold range ("red range") and/or the red gear shift flash. Please enter the desired
rpm value digit by digit (e. g. 8500). Level 1 push-button actions will increment the digits. Level 2
push-button actions change digits and a level 3 push-button action exits the option.
FlM
Choosing between flashing ALT and continuous lighting LEV of warning light and gear shift flash.
VER
Displays the software version number; no adjustment possible.
12.5 The Subitem SENSOR (Sensor Setup)
T1
Selects temperature measurement value T1 as air or water temperature. A matching sensor is
crucial for obtaining a precise measurement.
Temp
Sets the temperature unit to °C (Celsius) or °F (Fahrenheit).
PRS
Sets the pressure unit to bar or psi.
AIRmaxT / H2OmaxT
Sets the upper warning threshold for air and/or water temperature.
AIRminT / H2OminT
Sets the lower warning threshold for air and/or water temperature.
OILmaxT
Sets the oil temperature upper limit.
OILminT
Sets the oil temperature lower limit.
OILmaxP
Sets the oil pressure upper limit.
OILminP
Sets the oil pressure lower limit.
TTeach (Tacho Teach)
Automatic calibration of the speedometer sensor when using OEM speedo sensors. For this
calibration, the vehicle has to be driven at a constant 50 km/h for 10 seconds. Using the OEM
speedometer, a GPS device or a second vehicle is usefull. Please take the appropriate care when
conducting such measuring/calibration drives. When the countdown expires after 10 seconds, the
speedometer records the measurement values and switches back to its normal display screen.
Please recheck the speed measurement for precision and repeat the process, if necessary. We
recommend this method only as implement when using on-board sensors, e. g. at the gear box
output. Entering the values directly under PARAM is preferable (if possible). After a calibration by
TTeach is finished, it will be indicated by an asterisk under the WHLSIZE menu item.
17
12.6 The Subitem RESET (Reset Features)
RESET
Reset of all saved values to 0 or to factory default resp..
ALL
Selection of "yes" deletes all values accumulated during operatioon as well as the total trip value.
Internally, the instrument is set to a "new condition".
DEF
Selection of "yes" resets all setup settings to factory default but keeps the total trip meter value.
ODO2Set
Setting a total trip meter value. Increment the selected digit by a level 1 push-button action, select
the next digit by a level 2 push-button action and exit with a level 3 push-button action.
13 Safety Instructions for Operation in Traffic
Please do not get distracted from traffic by the instrument. You as the operator are responsible for
the proper setting of all device parameters as well as properly mounting all hardware. Greatest
care has to be taken while mounting sensors or setting parameters – the precision of the displayed
values depends on it.
PLEASE DO NOT OPERATE THE INSTRUMENT WHILE DRIVING, IT MAY LEAD TO A LOSS
OF CONTROL AND SEVERE ACCIDENTS.
14 Troubleshooting
14.1 After Mounting and at First Use
Make sure to provide an adequate power supply of at least 10V. Ascertain yourself of the
faultless operation of the vehicle's battery.
